What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2022
Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming and inclusive school. The school's values of 'care, excellence, respect, responsibility and joy' guide pupils' actions.

Older pupils, known as Reception Shepherds, support the youngest children with their lunch routines and playground games. Pupils are polite and kind. They respond positively to the high expectations that staff have of them. Pupils enjoy their lessons. They appreciate opportunities to practise what they have learned. Pupils say their 'flashback' tasks help them to remember more. They know how to help themselves if they do not understand something. Pupils say bullying rarely happens. They trust adults to sort out any issues quickly and fairly. Pupils say they feel safe at school. They benefit from a range of well-planned activities and experiences. They take part in residential trips and extra-curricular clubs. Pupils are proud of their responsibilities, such as being elected to the 'Global Neighbours' council.

Typically, they make comments such as: 'It's a great village school with a real community feel.'
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, leaders do not precisely identify the most important knowledge and vocabulary pupils must know and remember. As a result, pupils do not routinely develop the deep knowledge they need to prepare them for what comes next. Leaders must identify the key knowledge and vocabulary they expect pupils to remember in these subjects, so that pupils know more and remember more.
- Assessment of the wider curriculum is not yet fully developed throughout the school. In some foundation subjects, teachers do not always check effectively how well pupils acquire and remember knowledge. Leaders should establish a clear structure for the assessment of pupils' knowledge and understanding of the wider curriculum.
